CharityCompare has enriched, scored profiles for 735 of them, and every one of the others has a free basic profile here with its registration number and register details. How do I choose a homelessness charity to donate to? + Check three things: the charity is registered (its profile shows a UK regulator number), its Clarity score (we rate transparency and financial health from annual filings), and its cause spend — the share of spending that reaches the charitable cause rather than overheads. All three are free on every CharityCompare profile. How do I check a homelessness charity is legitimate? + Every genuine UK charity has a registration number from its national regulator — the Charity Commission for England & Wales, OSCR in Scotland or CCNI in Northern Ireland. Look it up on the charity's CharityCompare profile or on the official register. Registered charities must file annual accounts — if a fundraiser cannot give you a registration number, do not donate.
